The two colleges’ academic partnership will allow students to spend their first two years at San Antonio College and their final 2 ½ years in nationally ranked Kettering’s baccalaureate program in Flint, Mich.

“This partnership creates a collaborative model for a new concept in engineering education,” SAC President Robert E. Zeigler said. “The joint efforts of community colleges and four-year institutions will produce adaptable ‘industry-ready’ engineers for the unpredictable 21st century economy.”
